PDO Thread Lift Treatment Overview

A PDO Thread Lift is a revolutionary non-surgical facelift procedure that lifts, tightens, and rejuvenates the skin using biodegradable polydioxanone (PDO) threads.

These threads, which have been used in medical sutures for decades, are inserted beneath the skin to create an immediate lifting effect while stimulating collagen production for long-term rejuvenation.

Over time, natural aging, loss of collagen, and environmental factors can lead to sagging skin, deepening wrinkles, and loss of definition in the face. PDO Thread Lifts offer a minimally invasive alternative to facelift surgery, helping to restore firmness, structure, and youthful contouring without the need for long recovery periods.

At Image Clinic, our skilled professionals use PDO threads to create customized, natural-looking results, enhancing areas such as the cheeks, jawline, neck, and brows while promoting long-term skin tightening. This treatment is an excellent option for those who want visible lifting without the commitment of invasive surgery.

What To Expect

✔ Initial Consultation – Our experienced professionals assess your skin laxity, facial structure, and aesthetic goals to determine the best treatment plan for your needs.

✔ Treatment Process – PDO threads are inserted using a fine needle or cannula into strategic areas of the face, providing an immediate lifting effect while stimulating collagen production. The session lasts 45-90 minutes.

✔ Post-Treatment – Some mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness may occur, which typically resolves within a few days. The lifting results are immediate, with collagen production continuing over 3-6 months for progressive skin tightening.

How To Prepare

✔ Avoid alcohol and blood thinners (aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil) for 5-7 days before treatment to minimize bruising.

✔ Stay hydrated to support the body’s healing and collagen-building process.

✔ Plan your treatment around social events, as mild swelling and bruising may last a few days.

✔ Discuss medical conditions, allergies, and medications with your provider to ensure a safe and effective treatment.

Aftercare

✔ Avoid touching, rubbing, or applying pressure to the treated areas for at least 1 week to allow the threads to settle.

✔ Sleep on your back with your head elevated for the first 3-5 nights to avoid putting pressure on the treated areas.

✔ Refrain from excessive facial movement, dental procedures, and intense physical activity for at least 2 weeks.

✔ Use cold compresses to minimize swelling and bruising, if necessary.

✔ Avoid saunas, steam rooms, and prolonged sun exposure for at least 2 weeks post-treatment.

FAQ's

Have questions? We have the answers! Explore our FAQ section to find everything you need to know.

How Long Do PDO Threads Last?

The results of a PDO Thread Lift typically last 12-18 months, depending on your skin type, age, and collagen production levels. The PDO threads dissolve naturally over 4-6 months, but they continue to stimulate collagen, ensuring prolonged results even after the threads are absorbed.

To maintain long-term results, we recommend follow-up treatments every 9-12 months to keep the skin firm, lifted, and youthful. For enhanced rejuvenation, PDO threads can be combined with PRP therapy, microneedling, and skin tightening procedures for optimal results.

Is a PDO Thread Lift safe?

Yes! PDO threads have been used in medical sutures for decades and are biodegradable and completely safe. The procedure is minimally invasive and performed under local anesthesia, reducing the risk of complications compared to surgical facelifts.

How soon will I see results?

The lifting effect is immediate, but final results improve over 3-6 months as collagen production increases, further tightening and rejuvenating the skin.

Does a PDO Thread Lift hurt?

A local anesthetic is applied before the procedure, ensuring minimal discomfort. Patients may feel some pressure or mild tugging, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated.

What areas can be treated with PDO Threads?

PDO threads can be used to lift and contour the cheeks, jawline, brows, neck, and nasolabial folds. They can also enhance lip definition and improve skin texture.

Will I need additional treatments?

Most patients are satisfied with their results after one treatment, but maintenance sessions every 9-12 months help to preserve long-term lifting and collagen stimulation.
